ZitatAllowing transgender girls to compete in school sports with girls who are not transgender is a violation of federal law, and if it’s not stopped in 20 days, Connecticut risks losing federal education funding. That’s the ruling by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, made public Thursday in a report by the Associated Press.

The policy in place in Connecticut since 2013, allowing transgender student participation in school sports, “isn’t fair, destroys girls’ athletic opportunities, and clearly violates federal law,” said the legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom. That’s the Christian conservative legal group representing three girls who filed the civil rights complaint, who are now suing to stop trans athletes from competing against them. The ADF has been labeled an “extremist hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its predatory legal maneuvers against LGBTQ Americans.
